Hi Abb, so far so good, couple of things to sort out but none the less car is a joy to drive. Over the years I’ve had 4 cls and loved them in my opinion they are a super car, for me it was time for a change of model so on we go enjoying the Mercedes’ experience, enjoy my friend.

Which inlet pipe did you swap out ?

Which inlet pipe did u swap ?After re installation, I needed to top up the coolant ( due to losing some during removal I guess) and then drove it for the moment of truth......gutted, still drove as if it was in limp mode and no boost.
As a last ditch attempt before conceding, I swapped out the inlet pipe with the one from our ML,....the car was back!! Drove amazingly well, perhaps even better than before (placebo effect of a clean EGR), the scan showed zero faults incl any EGR related ones.
I concluded that the new MAF sensor being the culprit must have been faulty!
It was removed sharpish, returned to Germany and a used OEM one purchased. Fitted it upon arrival and have had zero issues since and although I removed the EGR valve unnecessarily (it transpired) at least it got a clean!
Thanks
Can't remember TBH, but they are exactly the same to do and are the same part! I know we are discussing this on your other thread, so to avoid the confusion, when I refer to inlet pipe, it is the 'batwing'. The MAF sensor is housed in the end sections as per my post, and both sides are the same.
